Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3/4 cup butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instruction

  • Cube the butter into small pieces and place them all in a mixing bowl. Add the icing sugar to the butter, and use a fork to completely mix the two. 
  • Add the all purpose flour to the bowl, and using the fork, mix the ingredients until they start to clump together and form a smooth ball.
  • Roll out the traditional shortbread dough on a lightly floured counter to roughly 1/4 " - 1/2 " in thickness. 
  • Cut the shortbread into squares, fingers, or use a cookie cutter to punch out rounds and other varying shapes.
  • Place the cookies on a parchment lined or lightly greased cookie sheet, and bake at 325F for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven, and immediately remove from the hot cookie sheet to cool.
